What is your blog about?
Experimenting with style, living in NYC and making an adventure out of every moment.

How did you come up with your blog name?
My blog used to be called Jenny in Jacquard, even though I hadn’t been called Jenny since the second grade.  What can I say?  I’m a sucker for alliteration.  I switched to Skirt The Rules in February 2013 because I wanted a name that represented my outlook on life and style: play by your own rules.

Have you seen that Kate Spade paperweight with your blog name on it?!
If I had a nickel for every time someone pointed it out to me, I’d quit my job!  This pendant necklace is more of my style!

Where did you go to school?
I went to undergrad and law school at the University of Arizona. #BTFD

Are you a full-time blogger?
Nope!  I manage field communications for an incredibly amazing brand.

Wait, you went to law school and aren’t practicing law?
Ya heard right.  I went to law school, I passed the New York (mother effin’) bar exam and now I’m doing what I love – just so happens it’s not in the legal industry.  Law school taught me invaluable skills and connected me with some of my best friends and if I had to do it all over again, I would!

How would you describe your style?
Colorful, playful and ever-evolving.

Who takes your photos?
Photo credits are listed in every post, but usually it’s my boyfriend or my blogger wife.

What kind of camera do you use?
I recently switched to a Canon 60D with a 50 mm f/1.4 lens.  Mama likes.

How do you manage to take photos when it’s freezing outside?
Cold is in a state of mind!  But really, I whip off my jacket for a few minutes, get some major stares and snap some pics.
